Well i don't post much I'm more of a lurker, been a lurker for a few years now here and on Supraforums. This is about my black supra. It's an 87 turbo 5-spd. I got it around this time last year . Well around late December I developed a slight case of rod knock, reason for this was because my crank pully was loose which i discovered later, the shop that rebuilt the motor before i bought it i guess didn't torque it done properly. I purchased a block from 935motorsports for a steal, and decided to start building that one up until my other one went. Well that time came around late January so i had to get started. My goal is 475rwhp and i have gotten most of the parts but i still have quite a bit to go. It's a slow process but it's coming along.
Here's The list of Things I'm doing:
Engine:
BLock:
.020 bored
Milled
Hot tanked
magnafluxed
Crank was micropolished
and the whole rotating assembly was balanced.
JE .020 pistons and Piston rings
All "clevite 77" bearings and thrust washers
Brand new oil pump and water pump
Head:
Full rebuilt ( stock valve job)
Milled for MHG
Cometic MHG
ARP Rod Bolts and Head Studs
Tranny:
Fully rebuilt
Spect stg 3+ or ACT XTSS not sure which clutch I'm going to get
Resurfaced stock flywheel
ARP flywheel bolts
NM SS
Fuel:
Walbro ( might go duals I'm not sure as of yet)
550cc Lucas Injectors
Aeromotive FPR
Turbo is going to be a BOSS stg 4
Engine Management:
Maft-pro speed density mode
Wideband LM-1
That's all i can think of right now If i have more I'll add it on now
On to the pics since i know everyone loves to look at pictures.
The Car:
Pulling The Engine (I'm the one sitting on my windshield)
The damage:
The bearing was completely gone when i took off the #4 rod and the woodruff key was completely shot on the crank....
In the meantime while i was pulling my motor i sent the other block and the head to the machine shop:
Block when it came back from the machine shop:
Crank back from the machine shop:
Head Back from the machine Shop:
Bottom end put together:
Head Torqued down to 85ft lbs:
There are A LOT of pictures that i have taken throught out this whole thing but i am only putting a few of them up. Hopefully I will be done soon we will see how it goes.
Sorry for the long post, let me know what you guys think.
